Module 2
Server Hardware and Remote Management
Desktop vs. Server Hardware: Key Distinctions
Differentiate between desktop and server hardware, identifying features like ECC RAM, hot-swap bays, and redundant PSUs.
2
Server Form Factors & Data Center Use Cases
Compare server form factors (tower, rack-mount, blade) and their typical data center use cases.
3
Hardware RAID Configuration and Trade-offs
Configure a hardware RAID array (e.g., RAID 1, 5, 10) and explain the trade-offs of the chosen level for a given scenario.
4
Rack Server Component Installation and Replacement
Install and replace components (drives, RAM, PSU) in a rack-mount server, using hot-swap capabilities where available.
5
Remote Hardware Monitoring
Access a server's remote management interface (IPMI/iLO/iDRAC) to monitor hardware health and logs.
6
Remote Management Interface Essentials
Use the remote management interface to perform power control, launch a remote console (KVM), and mount virtual media.
7
Proactive Hardware Maintenance: Interpreting Server Logs for Predictive Failure
Interpret server hardware logs to identify trends indicating impending component failure (e.g., predictive disk failure).
8
Server Storage Device Replacement in a RAID Array
Diagnose a failed storage device in a server, safely replace it in a RAID array, and verify the rebuild process.
